How to write a good Speakers Corner reviewNewest Review: ... sod you see!) Here speakers of all political and religious persuasion get up on their soap boxes and expound their different theories and beliefs about all sorts of various and multifarious topics about just about anything you care to mention. What makes a SC so interesting is just that; it's a total mix of views and opinions from people of all different types, social class, political persuasion, etc. What makes it even *MORE* interesting is when you get a few other people in their audience who *DON'T* agree with what they are expounding, and a lively and interesting debate then ensues about the various merits and drawbacks of their... more |

My opinion on how to write a good Speaker's Corner review (from here on SC) is simple enough.

What sort of conceited arsehole would presume to write in this category? Anyhow, a good speakers corner review is one of the rarest of beasts. You could blame this on a number of factors; the poor categorisation of Speakers Corner itself being a good place to start. Littered with weird and wide ranging topics with bizarre recent additions including, "Member advice on being a Wedding Guest" and "Help to find Madeline Mc Cann", Speakers Corner is truly an excellent stomping ground for any idiot who can string a couple of hundred of nonsensical words together. However, you cannot simply blame dooyoo's poor quality control for the, often ...
